Has anyone heard of Luton Hoo in luton, bedfordshire? Well for those that havent it is an extremely large privately owned aristocratic estate that dates back all the way to tudor times. Its famous mainly for its huge lake and surrounding forest covered hills that all belong to the estate.

Well to cut a long story short, the bloke that owned it killed himself cos of debt problems and now his wife is trying to make the money back in various ways. She has rented some of the servant houses out to members of the public and my mates dad is now living in one of these houses.

He gets all the latest info regarding the estate in advance and a couple of weeks ago discovered that The lady who owns the estate is renting out a huge proportion of her land to 20th century fox and George Lucas so that they can shoot a huge battle scene for a new STARWARS movie!

Not only will me and my mate be able to go in there whilst shooting and watch but Chiltern radio has started to request over 1000 extras for the shoot and me and my mate have got our names very high on the list as we knew in advance!

We are still unsure what movie this scene will be for as episode 3 has apprently already been shot so maybe George has got another movie up his sleeves! Whether or not we will get parts for definate is still unsure as chiltern are being very tight lipped about the proccess and are only letting out snippets of information and requesting that listeners send in their details via text.

Still the possiblitity of being in a real STARWARS fim is very exciting and being an extra in a battle scene is even more tantilizing...

I heard Lucas was working on a special edition where he has a CG neck (sorry Ali).

All but ONE of the scenes in Episode 3 was done in studio with enough blue screen to send a man to the moon. The one shot they did on location was shot during the filming of Episode 2, in Tunisia.

They're not filming Episode 3 in some warehouse.

Perhaps Lucas is so desperate for a decent movie he is actually shooting a remake of the lord of the rings and you and your buddy will be real hobbits of hobbiton.

thats why i suggested that there maybe a new film being made. They wouldnt necessarily use a studio if there planning on shooting a large open air battle. They filmed a huge portion of the endor bunker battle in the national park bordering san fransisco.

like I said i'm not sure what film its for but it is definately happening...

They finished filming Episode 3 months ago, doubt they'd be going back to do such a large sequence at this stage. Plus, they'd use film studios...

Yeah, I'm George Lucas *proves it by showing lack of neck* and you and your meddling mate are both fired for being big mouths. Thanks kid, now I have to relocate the shoot to Mars.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
